Hours: Full Time Contract Type: Contract / Temporary Placed on: 30th September 2015 Closes: 2nd November 2015 Job Ref: 120254 Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, Oxford Professor Stephen Goodwin, who is based at the Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, is looking to appointment a postdoctoral research scientist to work on a project entitled “Genetic Dissection of Sexual Behaviour”. Professor Goodwin and his group use Drosophila courtship behaviour to study how sex-specific neural circuitry and behaviours are established during development by the action of complex networks of genes. The aim of the study is to understand how activity in functioning dimorphic neural circuits gives rise to a…
